Oddly there have been no NASA JPL Twitter updates yet or news articles.

Excellent!

What an accomplishment.

Those solid state electronics will last forever. It will eventually fail due to a mechanical or software failure.

That poses interesting physics/aerodynamics questions. At what airspeed does effective translational lift occur in Mar’s atmosphere, and is that airspeed within the Ingenuity’s flight envelope.

Are they trying to sneak this one by? :)

Still nothing on the Twitter page (unless it was buried in a reply for some other tweet). That’s what news people must be watching for the expected updates, because the usual articles are missing as well.

Maybe a light will go on eventually.
